Boars Head in Florida @ publix has a 3 pepper jack that's actually got some kick to it. It's the most "normal" hot cheese we've been able to find.
If you love 'it's so hot it'll melt through a metal bumper hot" look into capsaicin extract. I get it from an online place that has everything from AtoZ, for about $20. it's a fantastic way to add heat without making things bitter. E.g. Franks wing sauce tastes good, but isn't really hot. 2-3 drops in a batch used to toss 15-20 wings will make your lips tingle, open your sinuses, and induce some sweating. 5-6 drops and I have to nope out.
I love this stuff as I can get spicy without destroying flavor!
WARNING: Don't consume this directly, cut it with something and make sure those 1-2 drops are well mixed.
